If you mean the one with a long gun barrel and huge exhausts, it is a Spleenrippa from the happy days of SM1.

On the main page with the list of all the models there are no pics for most of them, click the link for a model and it takes you to a page with details of whats in the box\blister and pictures.

My Forgeworld Epic Vultures arrived this morning.
They are very nice models, large like the Valkyrie and very nicely detailed, especially around the engines and the lascannons (which are amazing). The weapons the models come with are lascannons and multiple rocket launchers.
Each Vulture model consists of 11 parts. These are the main body the tail, the rear of the engine, left and right landing feet, left and right stabilisers, 2 Multiple Rocket pods and 2 lascannons.
The only problem with them is the wings, being so thin and flexible, are at slightly the wrong angle, and will have to be heated and bent into the right poisition. That shouldn't be very hard though.
I plan, on one of the Vultures, to swap its rocket pods with hellstrike missiles from the marauder destroyer, and to put the rocket pods on one of my valkyries!

Hi!
Its a good model, but I can reconcile with the size, perhaps relaistic, but too big to look right with pre-exsisting models.

Thats an issue I have always had with FW stuff, it just doesnt fit with the rest of my collection. Its most evident on the Superheavies and aircraft.
I know its a small thing, but I find it Bl%$dy annoying!
